I’m getting this error even though the account doesn’t exist.

  1. an incorrect user is created that doesn’t match my persona.
  2. For example, if i try to create a Setup Helper AI account, it creates a GitHub AI account.
  3. I’ve tried deleting and retrying multiple times, but it didn’t work.
  4. In some cases, the creation did not work, returning an Interner error as I repeated the delete creation multiple times.


Hopefully this error will be fixed soon.

This looks very odd…

2 things you can do

  • Delete the bot which will detach it.
  • Rename the bot to correct name.

Very odd it is creating wrong account name, will try it out locally.

In some cases, alternatives 1 and 2 above were not feasible because

What’s also strange is that my research bot was disabled. And no attempt was made to create a user account. However, at some point, I started sharing the name of another bot I created.

I hope this is resolved.

I really need a repro here, totally get that this happened but ideally some step by step details of how we got there would be helpful.

  1. enable only what i need and disable the rest *see photo

  2. of the ones I enabled, it started creating users sequentially from the top.
  3. it was creating fine until Github Helper, then suddenly Setting Explorer stopped creating bots and returned an Interner error window. After that, I refreshed the page, and another existing bot, Discourse Helper, was taking its place. *see picture

  4. I then entered the edit window of the deactivated persona. I didn’t try to create it, but it was sharing the name of another bot that I had previously activated. Example: Artist : Discourse Helper, Researcher : Github Helper. *see photo
